" Life Is A Coin Toss "
(19/12/02)
© 2002 Brian Eggertsen, All Rights Reserved

Verse 1
Man in suit and tie's late
Tripping at the edge of the curb,
Decide to cross the street
Older woman thinks what a nerd.
And two seconds later
The rushing man is on the ground,
For the rest of his life
He's condemt to be wheelchair bound.

Refrain
Life is a coin toss.
Roads of ignorent,
And coinsident.
Life is a coin toss.
Thought it's yours to make,
It's not yours to take.
Life is a coin toss.
It's heads or it's tails,
The sea's yours to sail.
Life is a coin toss.

Verse 2
Woman had unsave sex
And now's giving birth to matthew,
The father's gone astray
Ain't walking a mile in her shoes.
Living with her parents
She had to drop out of highschool,
But she is nursing him
Though she know's that she's been a fool.

Refrain

Bridge
Child in a candy store
Sneaks lollipops in is pocket,
But got caught on camera
And now he's in over his head.

Refrain

Hi Brian,

When reading your song lyrics I just realised that the first letters of coincidence is coin... I don't know if you deliberately put that word in or what, but it just kinda freaked me out a bit! Great write as usual.

That was a really good song, I liked the refrain alot! You might want to check your spelling on a couple things though.

This was great. I've often argued that life is all about chance. No fate, nothing preordained, just simple random chance. It's the only way I can hope to understand why things happen. I can't accept that God would not only let bad things happen, but would SET them to happen through fate. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one to think this way.

Thoroughly enjoyed. I favored the refrain as well, and the kid with the lolli-pop. You put things in perspective well. I'd say check spelling but I can't spell either.

I really liked this one. The only critique I have would be to check the spelling, "coincidence" instead of "coinsident". But overall, I don't think the spelling bothered me too much because it was still a very well written poem. Nicely done!
